KARACHI: A four-day ‘Sindh Festival 2007’ programme of the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) begins at Clifton Beach today (Thursday).

A large area around the Beach Park has been reserved for the festival and the main theme of this year’s festival is “Rising to greater heights”, followed by three sub-themes including ‘human trafficking,’ ‘women empowerment’ and ‘preferring national interest over self-interest’.

Sindh Governor, Dr. Ishratul Ebad, is expected to be the chief guest at the opening ceremony and will open the festival gates with a golden key. This will be followed by a grand festival parade, a fireworks display by the Karachi Port Trust, a laser show and Sufi music show.

The second day’s events include demonstrations by the Pakistan Coast Guards and Pakistan Rangers. Other events of the festival which would span the next three days include a cultural village, sports village, fishermen’s village, health village, naval village, army and Rangers village and a business village.

The festival would also have a kid’s area with many interesting activities, such as a debate competition and public speaking competition.
Bodybuilding, beach volleyball, boxing, vintage car display, scale model display, VJ contest, cinema, arts and crafts, scuba diving are also part of the festival.
